The 2005 movie Kinky Boots was inspired by an episode about W.J. Brooks Ltd, a family-controlled Earls Barton, Northamptonshire shoe factory whose 'Divine' product line consisted of traditionally feminine footwear marketed towards men.[4]

Trouble at the Top reportedly inspired TV producer Mark Burnett to make The Apprentice, which debuted in the US in 2004.[5]

A spin off four-part series, Trouble at the Big Top, followed developments at the Millennium Dome in a similar style.
